Working on an assignment from my advisor, Hannah Barrett, I am recreating 2 paintings by Caspar David Freidrich. I'm enjoying the experience a lot. It is very technical, difficult, and a bit boring, but I'm learning a lot about the rules of landscape, experimenting with my colors and trying to match his, etc. I also feel, that while I would like the ability to paint in this manner, I don't believe I would choose to do so. The "picturesque" is not for me. I am amazed by the talent that goes into these, but I don't enjoy spending sooooo much time on tiny, bluish trees in the background hills... sort of like too much Bob Ross and I want to fall asleep. But it's a great assignment and I'm getting close to finishing.
Here are the two I am working on with the originals.
